lateral raises

This content is protected

Is that good for boxers? I have a fight coming up.... You recommend this routine?

 

id recommend military press/shoulder press instead. Either way the reps determine on what your aim is. If you want power then low reps, high reps for muscular endurance.

 

what are your goals?

 

I thought you were foremen.

 

That's some bull**** exercise, it's isolation.
Work on compound exercises.
Overhead press. Power c lean & jerk.

 

Best way to help that... throw more jabs.

 

ya i do those exercises, i usually bend my shoulders a lil more though because it started to hurt my elbow

 

You should actually bend your elbows slightly when doing lat raises - keeping your arms straight/elbows locked can damage your tendons and doesn't benefit you at all.

 

I agree - I usually do clean and press, followed by upright rows and push press when I work my shoulders - I used to include lat raises but found them quite ineffective (and therefore a waste of time) after doing the compound exercises

 

Do rounds of jabs on the heavy bag. Set the timer for a couple of minutes, dont worry about movement, just pop them out stiff with as good a form as possible, 1.5 to 2 per second and dont stop til the round's over. My jab never gets tired anymore.

 

im gonna have to try something like this soon... sounds like it can be pretty beneficial

 

Iv been doing that for quite sometime.My shoulders dont get as tired as much anymore and the acid build up isnt as bad until i reach much later in the rounds.I find it good to alternate between both stances though to work both jabs effectively aswell as my shoulders.
